16トン

Lyricist:Merle Travis
訳詞:井田誠一
Composer:Merle Travis

エーン、ヤッサノサ エンヤサ
俺らの荷物は 重いぞ重いぞ
もうすぐ ソレ 墓場だ 16トン
掘れよ ツルハシ シャベルだ
モッコをかつげ ヨイコラサ
あの娘にも おさらばだ

Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Perter don't you call me'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

エーン、ヤッサノサ エンヤサ
くる日も くる日も
泥んこだ 泥んこだ
まっ黒になってね 16トン
かつげ 百貫目の荷物
涙と汗で ヨイコラサ
やるだけやったら極楽だ

I was born on mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said “Well, a-bless my soul”

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Perter don't you call me'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
